p.1 #1 · San Diego Variety

These were taken all over San Diego coastal. The Bluewing teals on the Mexican border, the Reddish Egret and Belted Kingfishers in central San Diego coastal at the San Diego River channel, and the Peregrine on the beach cliffs in northern coastal San Diego. We are fortunate here to have so much to choose from. Thanks for looking and C&C is always welcome.
1of8 Perigrine eating the air. This is the first time I've seen this happen, he must have been very hungry.

Well, this is just a terrific series, Chris! Wow! Definitely a fresh view of things!
# 1 is pretty cool behavior.
The horned lark #3 great shot!
And the blue winged teal is really remarkable--great exposure and lighting on these!

Doug Thanks, Doug. And no matter what JB says, there are some severe focus issues with my MKIII although it could be my lack of a right eye and forefinger on the shutter button hand.

Oh, and some other stuff, also.

Thank you, Robert. The camera is a great reason to get out and see what's around us and it has opened up a whole new world for me, also.

Chris -
Nice variety, and all fine shots.
Looks like the Kingfisher pair just shared a great inside joke.

These are really super images, Chris. Color, lighting and detail are excellent. Great capture the second shot, and, boy, that Horned Lark sure has an evil look.

Great job! Thanks for sharing,

Great action in the first two. The first Reddish Egret is art. Absolutely beautiful. I love the blue winged teal too, particularly the first image of him.
